Light Pimiento Cheese-Stuffed Celery
* 11/4 cups light mayonnaise
*
1 – 4 ounce jar diced pimiento, drained
*
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
*
1 teaspoon finely grated onion
*
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
*
1 – 8 ounce blocks 2% reduced fat sharp Cheddar cheese, finely shredded
*
6 celery ribs, cut into 4-inch pieces
* Garnish: paprika
Stir together light mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl.
Stir in cheese.
Spread 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each celery rib.
Garnish, if desired.
Store remaining pimiento mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
Note: Don’t be tempted to use preshredded cheese. It takes a few more minutes to shred your own, but you’ll be much more pleased with the creamy texture.
